It came out on top of a list of the "most charming" towns in the county, put together by Hotels.com.

They raved about its quaint streets and homes, while also speaking highly of its sights and history.

They said: "The town itself consists of charming old stone houses around the beautiful beck and its own little waterfalls. It acts as a focal point for walkers wanting to explore the surrounding countryside.

"However, it’s also got the Hardraw Force – the highest single-drop waterfall in England."

Hardraw Force is one of the most visited spots in the area - although its location might have some thing to do with that, as it's found in the grounds of a pub.

Tumbling more than 100ft, the falls are are located behind the Green Dragon Inn, a tavern that has been in its current location since the 13th century Tourists take the opportunity to pop in for a pint before heading through the turnstile to look at the falls plummeting around the back.

The falls are very well known, not least because they were used in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, for a scene where Maid Marion spies Robin Hood bathing beneath in the waters beneath.

Hotels continued: "Hawes is most famous for being the birthplace of Wensleydale cheese and is still home to the Wensleydale Creamery where it’s made."

The cheese is made on-site, as it has been since it opened there in 1897 and has become a favourite throughout the UK.
